If you’re new in town, you might not know about Louis Armstrong. He was a life-size statue on the stage in Old Town Square. Rocked off his foundation, he disappeared one night in 2001.
Douglas A Beard It strikes me as almost funny, that I moved as far away as possible in the contingent US to be checking in on this site.

I have had SUCH a hard time keeping this quiet–didn’t want to say anything until it was done. But I’ve known for several weeks that the Armstrong Hotel was making a nicesouvenirmap out of the neighborhood markets tour that the Lost Fort Collins blog published a while back.
Spencer just found 64 Fort Collins Municipal Railway tokens at an estate sale for $1!
LostFortCollins Tomorrow night, County Commissioners are meeting to discuss changing land use code so large projects that go through Larimer County (like the Greeley Pipeline) need permits from Larimer County. This would go a long way in helping protect historic resources from destruction by outside entities. But they need you to show... up and show you care.

One hamburger joint Norm may remember: Morrie’s “In and Out” on South College. It was a little before my time but I know it was popular with a lot of FCHS students because it was relatively close to the old high school building on Remington.” Jim Burrill

Look to the Northwest and see what’s left of the Strauss cabin. One of the earliest cabins in the area, restored in the 1990s, and then burned down by some teenagers soon after.
LostFortCollins I'm working too much to blog this week. Here's a little "creative" writing that doesn't quite fit Lost Fort Collins.Or anywhere else for that matter.
